Megsie's Visit Part 2: Dali, Drinks and Dinner

After we'd taken Myf to the park, we headed into the city to go to the Dali exhibition. While we waited for the rest of our party, we had an afternoon tea at the NGV cafe.

I highly recommend the afternoon tea there. The teas are lovely and the food was really yummy.

I have mixed feelings about the Dali exhibition. On one hand it was really interesting to see some of his earlier work and see his progression in style from classical, through cubism and then onto surrealism and back to classical again. There were some great artworks there. However in my opinion, there weren't enough of the classic Dali works in the exhibition for my liking. I think we only saw a couple of melted clocks and one painting with the flower women and only a few ants. One of the best parts of the show was having a laugh at some of the titles of the artworks. There were names like "Portrait of Gala With Two Lamb Chops in Equilibrium Upon Her Shoulder". Haha!!

After the Dali Exhibition we wandered up Exhibition Street towards Tuscan Rooftop bar where we were going to have some drinks. When we passed Little Collins street, we noticed it was blocked off and there was a bit of a crowd. After a chat with some security there, we found out it was a set from Katie Holmes new movie. However Katie Holmes wasn't on set that day.

After Drinks at Tuscan Bar we had dinner at Seamstress. Wow! The food was so good and it didn't work out to be very expensive with our entertainment card discounts. The style of eating is share plates, so you order several dishes that go in the centre of the table and you get to have a taste of all of them.

When we'd finished our delicious dinner, we moved onto the Croft Institute, which is a bit of a novelty bar that has cool artifacts from old chem labs.

The theme was very cool and the cocktails were tasty, but the bar staff were pretty slow and the music didn't quite suit the mood. The toilets are freaky and I think I'd probably scare myself if I was very drunk in there. Haha!
